Circular enamel on copper dish features a mottled turquoise field ringed by a deep green rim. Flecked copper particles shimmer beneath the translucent surface. Six winged forms reminiscent of butterflies scatter across the center, their vibrant red, orange, and gray wings marked with colorful dots and wispy black lines representing legs and antennae. A single red-winged form rests at the bottom right, anchoring the organic composition against the speckled background.
